My Clients purchased a brand new home that had been finished to a very high standard. However as is often the case with new builds, the interiors were very neutral and the windows were ‘naked’. I was asked to focus solely on the window treatments and inject colour through these.The paint colours are the same throughout the house and of course this influenced the fabrics chosen, so it’s interesting to see how each room reacts to its new window treatment.
The lounge fabric is called ‘Pod’, it’s quite contemporary but I know that they won’t get bored with it. The palette of navy, aqua and beige introduces colour subtly without overpowering the space. Because there is more than one colour there is plenty of scope to add accessories, art and soft furnishings to further the arrangement in due course.

This is their 5 year old son’s bedroom. The striped fabric was chosen to grow with him. It will be as suitable when he is 18 as it is now… when dinosaurs are replaced by Ducatis.

The 3 year old’s fabric is lots of fun – in fact it is called ‘What A Hoot’. There are so many pretty colours here that it will sit well with any toys and bed linen.

The Master Bedroom needed to be soft, comfortable and slightly feminine without becoming a ‘no man zone’. I wanted to draw the eye away from the sharp angles of the architecture and this curtain treatment and pretty fabric does just that. I added Continental cushions to the bed in a complementary fabric to throw colour back to that side of the room.
